HIM PROGRAM
REVIEW HIM professionals will be required to assess data for known relationships, describe facts, detect patterns, develop explanations, and/or test a hypothesis in an attempt to answer a question with data.
Using the Internet, locate your own state's hospital association website.
Specifically, search for hospital data and/or statistics that may be used to monitor utilization and/or quality of care at either the state or local level.
In your response, identify your state and include an APA citation to the site you used. Secondly, select 2 specific statistics that are used by your home state
Who generates the data and how they are calculated; what do the results/outcomes show; who are the users; primary or secondary data; and speculate how this statistic might important to measure for a healthcare organization?
Finally, present your initial thoughts on the website you selected, the state data and statistics available, and might this be a website you would utilize in the future as an HIM manager?
